Visualization, Mind Power, Positive Mental Attitude…
Pure bunkum, right?…
To answer that, let’s bring in a legend of the Iron Game…
Bill Pearl is known as one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time… But there was more to Bill than the mounds of muscle covering his frame…
He had a pile of ‘GO’ accompanying that ‘Show,’ just like it should be…
He could bench 450 lbs, Squat 605 lbs. Press 310 lbs for a double in the seated press behind the neck.
He performed traditional feats of strength that drew crowds and dropped jaws…
He’s NASA’s go to guy when it comes to conditioning their astronauts.
He puts on some of the highest quality lectures in the health and fitness field. And he has written some of the best strength training books out there…
Oh, I almost forgot… He also won the Mr. Universe title…5 times, with his last win at the age of 41!
Now you know why he’s considered to be one of the Greatest…
Bill has talked about the power of the mind on more than one occasion. He even mentioned how he used visualization when it came to his diet, something that really caught my attention…
He said that; as he ate his food, he would imagine the nutrients rejuvenating his body and building up his strength and muscles.
This isn’t something you merely pay lip service to. You need to really get into it. You must BELIEVE and have FAITH in the process.
If you’re finding this a hard pill to swallow (how smooth was that pun?) put those doubts on hold. Simply try this out for the next few days.
If you have to, write it down on a 3×5 card or set a reminder on your phone. Do whatever to remind yourself to do this every time you eat. And yes, this applies to drinking protein shakes, too.
IT helps a lot to have confidence in the meal plan you’re following. If you’re current diet is full of fast food, Twinkies and sugar loaded ‘treats,’ you’re gonna have a heard time doing this.
Let’s be honest, being aware that you’re BS’ing yourself isn’t the path to overflowing self confidence…
Get your hands on solid nutritional information. There are a ton of books out thee.
When it comes to strength and muscle building nutrition made easy, the BodyDesign Nutritional System takes top honors. It’s full of real world experience and easy to follow templates. You can learn more by going here
Stick with Bill’s ‘Pearl of Wisdom’ (another intentional pun. Damn I’m good…) for a few days. A few weeks would be better.
I’m betting that it won’t be long before you start to notice a change for the better. But remember, you need to go ‘all in,’ half stepping it won’t cut it.
Give it a shot, and let me know how it goes.
Train Smart, Train Hard
